Abstract :
In this study, the laser-induced breakdown
spectroscopy (LIBS) technique was applied to detect
radioactive elements on surface soil, plant leaves
(Tamarindus indica), and flow water collected from Bala,
Mayo-Kebbi Quest, Chad. The survey process indicates
that the samples contain radioactive elements U, Fr, Ce,
Ac, Cm, Tb, and Pm. The concentrations of the detected
elements in samples were determined using the
calibration curve method, while the plasma temperatures
(Texc) and electron density (Ne) of the detected radioactive
elements were calculated from Boltzmann linear plots.
Except for uranium, all elements in the soil sample had
amounts below the acceptable limit. The concentration of
uranium in soil samples ranges from 0.024236 to 0.23439
ppm, with a safety limit of 0.03 ppm. The average plasma
temperature Texc for uranium (U) is 700, while the
electron density Ne is 500 cm-3
.
